Describe Sheffield in a short paragraph

It is a very comfortable place to live for students, because you can get everything you want for living and there are some entertainments for holidays. Access for other towns is also very good when you want to travel around UK.

Could you give any advice or tips to a student preparing to come to Sheffield or tell them anything you wished you knew in advance.

Prepare your money as much as possible for your time in Sheffield as the costs of living are very high and there are a lot of things to do which cost a lot of money! Try everything that you want to experience in Sheffield!!

Any other information or comment

I had really nice time in Sheffield; both the people and university system were very nice.
